As beautiful as the song is when you see the context of it in the show Arcane it is soooooo much more emotional. I can not recommend this show enough. Don’t worry you need to know nothing about the game to enjoy. If you do decide to watch keep in mind it was released in 3 episodes chunks at a time for a reason.
Yes, please yes. A reaction to the show by Beth would be even better.
@@NativeNewMexican especially with the score throughout the show is just so perfectly poetic to the moments that they have it.
Everyone needs to help share the beautiful tragedy that is Arcane.
All the music in Arcane is perfect. The show is a masterpiece.
@@Yookeroo I couldn’t agree with you more
Having seen the show several times , this songs os almost haunting to me. I cannot explain the feeling but gosh it hits.
Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your comment and for watching my reaction. I’m impressed that you have seen the show several times. I can understand why this song is haunting to you. It has such a beautiful and melancholic melody and lyrics. Sting’s voice is amazing and expressive. I felt the same way when I heard it for the first time. It hits you right in the soul. Thank you for your support and feedback. Have a lovely day!
@@BethRoarswatch the show, then you'll understand 😉
Oh, and have tissues at hand.
Hey Hannah,
I think it's relatively easy to explain why this song hits so much. The lyrics basically sum up the emotional drama of Powder/Jinx in but a few minutes. All the main aspects are in there, tons of respect go to the writer of those lyrics for this achievement.
This song takes Jinx' unbearable emotional pain, and puts it right in front of the audience, so that there's no way to look around it.
Or to put it differently, this song puts not only one but rather several fingers deep inside the open wound, and joyfully twists it around right until the moment we all get tears in our eyes.
"Why don't you love who I am" - the sadness, the desperation but also the anger that lies within that question. It all fits into those few words. Amazing. And I relate so much to that feeling of refusal, I guess we all know it and respond to it.
While it may seem odd to have hired an almost 70 year old man to perform a song from a perspective of a young girl, I guess he showed everyone he is still so way up there in terms of performance and emotion and also technique. He sings "I am your ghost", and indeed it sounds like a lifeless, doomed ghost right there. Okay he is my favorite musician by far anyway, but maybe you can agree with me about my attempt to explain why this one destroys many listeners so much.
Beth, I can't recommend Arcane enough. Yes, the characters and location are from a video game (League of Legends to be specific), but zero knowledge of the game is needed for watching the show. It's honestly one of the most incredible pieces of episodic entertainment created. All the music in it (this song included) was created specifically for the show, and really add to the show. I'd love to see your reaction to the show, but if you're not comfortable with that style of video, you should still watch it just for yourself :)
In fact I would say it's better if you don't know the game because you can assume there's plot armor with some characters (hopefully that's not actually true but it has felt like that so far).
@@TheOvermaster I thought they did a pretty good job with the lack of plot armor, with a couple of exceptions, but yeah :)
@@joshgreiner2599 *SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Well you know that the champions Jayce / Viktor / Heimerdinger / Ekko / Vi / Jinx / Singed (and even Ryze ) won't die (whereas someone like Silco does die). In the bombing Jayce / Viktor are probably safe, but undoubtably the rest of the council dies esp Caitlyn's mom (maybe with the exception of Mel - but even then who knows).
*SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
You have to watch arcane and show us your reaction! It’s literally the best back story to a game I’ve ever watched. Jinx is so complex and beautifully crazy and misunderstood, her backstory is one of the best I’ve ever watched for a game character. Arcane is a true masterpiece and the ending is absolutely heartbreaking, can’t wait for season two
Arcane is a series that, speaking as someone who loves the League of Legends lore and has spent an embarrassing amount of time and money on the game, has absolutely NO business being as outright immaculate as it is.
It could have been half as good and people still would have been excited to have a decent enough look into the world of Runeterra, and instead we got arguably the best season of animated media ever.
Fucking spectacular.
Poor, poor Jinx ... She really needs a hug ...
Goosebumps all over - Sting is completely brilliant here.
This music starts the waterfall regardless of seeing the scene or not ...
This song is illustrating the last scene of Arcane S1E9, "you" in this context is her sister Vi(olet).
Really if you still haven't watched Arcane - do, you don't need gaming background for it.
I've seen this show like 5 since it came out already I tear up every time I hear this song. It is quite an experience when you watch it play out in the show. Can't wait for season 2.
This song is the most accurate picture, the perfect representation of a feeling, the feeling of being betrayed, the feeling of desperation, impotence, and revenge of a broken heart that is still in disbelief, but knows that there's no going back, you MUST watch the show, when this song came up I didn't even noticed it was Sting for like a minute, i was so immersed in the story that i didn't had room for anything else.
Over a year has passed since I watched this show and reflecting upon it, realise that I have never watched a show that completely broke me like Arcane did... From start to finish a true masterpiece. And this music is a living testament.
Sting is my all time favorite artist; such a unique voice. I can tell after just a few notes, no matter what the song, it's him singing. I have many favorite songs by him, but the one that stands out for me is "La belle dame sans regrets." It accompanies a video with Catherine Deneuve during her career. Absolutely a classic!
I agree with you Beth. Sting is a wonderful singer.
This song gave so much emotion to that ending scene. All the music in Arcane was great, but this really hit the feels.
I adore Sting to death and back. Period. ❤
And he just gets better with age.
Haven't heard of Arcane before, but will definitely check it out.
What a beautiful song, would love to see you analyse more of his work, maybe "I burn for you"?
Agreed. I Burn for You should be next…
Have you been able to see/listen to this song in context? The show is really good and this song fits perfectly
That show has no business having music THAT good. So amazing what they pulled off.
If you haven't watched the show, you should. The song hits you different in that scene.

hello Beth . It has always been interesting for me to watch a big orchestra. Of course, not old harsh songs, but beautiful songs of contemporary musicians.
The entire soundtrack of this show is gold i can only highly recommend you check out the other full tarcks from the soundtrack
This was a brilliant breakdown of the song!! Thanks! I know you don't game (League of Legends is the series Arcane is based on), but I highly recommend the show! The context of the use of this song is beautiful (also it explains that blue rocket in the background near the end of this video ;) ).
I've watched this performance hundreds of times. And wish so much that my voice would create any sound other than my speaking voice attempting to sing. I loved hearing the technical analysis of the way Sting is singing it
Doesn't matter which version of the song I listen to, I can always hear that window break.
Sting is awesome!:)
I fell in love with Arcane... Especially with String's extraordinary Voice... He keeps you speechless 😶 you just appreciate, teste, and admire the ARTIST ❤
Now I will really recommend 'Guns for hire' from arcane.
It's also a masterpiece from the show.
this one ... has me in tears ... every time ... damn!
Why "damn"? This is just an artist succeeding in reaching you.
Hi Beth, very cool that you like the song, thank you for the reaction :) I second (well, third, fourth, ...) the notion to watch Arcane. No knowledge of the video game is required, and the story, art design and music are masterfully composed and strengthen each other during the whole season all the time. The creators took the time to fine tune everything to evoke the emotions they wanted to convey.
It's an achingly beautiful song even without any knowledge of the emotional context from the series, but if you do know the context... it's devastating.
love anything Sting does.
Sting's "The Last Ship" album is one of my favourites
Saw him live he is amazing actually a genius of a songwriter to he sang fields of gold and it brought my girlfriend at the time to tears .
its much more emotional when you know the story that this song tells..
a drizzly summer night, red rocks amphitheater and sting. a magical night.
That is an amazing song. I recommend you Arcane, you dont need to know anything of League of Legends to understand the show, and whats more, there are some episodes of the people who made the show, and in chapter 4 or 5, it is shown how they created the music.
Chalk up another one for a boomer. That is a lovely composition for which Sting is perfectly suited (although I still think of "Roxanne" everytime I hear him!). Can't say enough about Ray Chen's mastery. He's one of the brightest stars in the world of classical music today. Seen him a few times in concert with the LA Phil. Do see him live if you get the chance.
Watch the show! It is a paragon of emotional storytelling and is by far the best piece of media I have consumed in the last decade. If you think this song hits you in the feels now you're only at a 5, the show will take it to 10.
Then you should do an analysis videos for all of the songs. None of them are copyright restricted either, although youtubes algorithm sometimes gets fussy.
I know it's not the style of your channel but full on Arcane reaction videos would be awesome and there is already a large demographic that would love to see that as well.
De los cantantes ingleses que siempre me an gustado hermosa canción bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀
We’ll show them. We will show them all.
i'd love to see you review another sting song. maybe "all this time"
36 seconds in always gives me goosebumps, though the clearer studio version does so even more than this one. So good. So. Good.
I just love how all of the music was written FOR the show. They didn't source anything it's all original material
We ask for a reaction to all the osts of Arcane! Please >_
definitely give the show a watch - it's not for kids mind.
Sting. The Best!
Can't recommend the show enough, if you haven't seen it. Has a lot of interesting music in it too.
"We will show them...
We will show them all..."
I never knew any part of League of Legends but the show is absolutely. Unthinkably. Amazing.
Hello i would love to see your reaction to Arcane, you could analyze the songs while watching the episodes. Greetings from Hungary.
Who would have thought a netflix series based on a videogame would dominate the emmys and produce musical moments like this? Geez. What a FANTASTIC first season.
The thing is... It's not a Netflix series. It's produced entirely by Riot Games and Fortiche Studios. Not Hollywood, not Netflix, not random producers or directors that know nothing about the game. It was made by League of Legends creators for League of Legends fans (and not fans). They wanted it to be perfect. They put all the passion, love and care to make it as good as they could to not let us down. And even when it finally was released they were worried about it not being good enough.
The Danish National Symphony just uploaded their Version from the last Phantasymphony back in April 2023. Maybe you wanna give it a try😊
I'd like to see your analysis on:
1. A Perfect Circle - Passive (Live in Red Rock).
2. Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit 🐰
I have 2 suggestions for artist I'd love to see you check out not sure if you have yet.
The 1st one is: Matchbox 20 and or Rob Thomas(Lead singer of Matchbox 20)
2nd one is: Classified the Retrospected songs particularly "all about you)
Arcane is not a Netflix show. It's a Riot Games (League of Legends creators) and Fortiche (french animation studio) production. Netflix is only the platform they choose to air it and has nothing to do with it. That's what makes Arcane so special. It wasn't a random producer that had the idea to make profit of the most played games around the world. They didnt hire someone who didnt know anything about the game to make it. It was an idea of one of the employees and he pushed and pushed and pushed for it to be done right. It took 6 years to make it! The amount of passion, love and care they put on this shows through every frame, every dialogue, every note. Everything was made specifically for the show. From the visual parts like developing a new animation style, to the score and soundtrack. They wrote every song and looked for the right interpreter to make it as good as they are. In the minidocumentary they even joke about having Sting for this song, like who wouldn't want such a star like him to sing a song for their movie/show? But he really liked the song! And they went for it. The result? One of the most beautifully gut wrenching scenes I've ever seen!
If you ask anyone who had seen Arcane and know the passion it was made from, all can tell you two things:
I cant wait for season 2
And
I want them to take as much time as they can to make season 2 at least as good as season 1 is.
This dichotomy is something that live with us now. We need it NOW, YESTERDAY if possible. BUT we dont want them to rush it, even if it means 6 more years to have season 2.
This sounds like it should be called “ I burn for you part 2
Linda Ronstadt - La Charreada
Los Tigres del Norte (feat: Zack de la Rocha)- Somos Mas Americanos
The Avett Brothers - Ballad of Love and Hate (live)
I'll stay here until Beth sees Lila Downs sing La Llorona
I much preferred him as part of the Police ‼️ A Police reaction would be great 👍🏻
you should do mb14 MB14 - LA Cup Worldwide
watch arcane
You gotta watch arcane
Joe Cocker - lets go get stoned woodstock 69 please!
Just watch the show. Then the song means 1000 times more than just a piece :)
Hi Beth - just accidentally found your video because I was discussing the show "Arcane" with some people and wanted to point out how emotionally relevant and on point that last song is.
Then I saw your thumbnail to this video and tbh I got kinda mad, because to me your facial impression first looked like you found the song awful.
I have seen people comment under this game award video that Sting's performance had been terrible, that he couldn't hold the long or high notes properly. And that he had quite simply become too old to perform.
I think all of this is rubbish and I am glad I clicked and watched your video and found that you actually loved what he did. He was a nearly 70 year old man taking on the perspective of a young girl feeling desperate for getting refusal instead of love. And oh man how awesome did he put all of the sadness, the deperation but also the anger into his voice! "Why don't you love who I am?". It's literally all in that one line. Actually the entire show is in that one line. That's what the story is about, or at least the relationship of those two sisters.
I can sing, and well, but I can't sing songs like this without screaming them. After 15 years my Wife is divorcing me due to my becoming almost totally disabled (Inoperable Spinal Damage). When someone you love hates you for reasons you are not responsible for and cannot control, music like this becomes almost too much to handle.
listen to Eva Cassidy sing "fields of gold "
Thanks for the comment Mark! I'll be doing an Eva Cassidy reaction soon! Stay tuned :) x
@@BethRoars ps...i noticed you look identical to Amy Adams
It's such a shame that parents of the old to mid millenials denied their kids games as children. There's SO much fantastic music to be found in games, with or without lyrics, that moves you to tears.
Stings voice is pretty iconic. The way he pronounces lose in "I want you to lose like I lose when I play..." It's like he adds an extra o, but doesn't?
That's a shame if you haven't seen Arcane
He was definitely having monitoring issues in this one I can tell... really good performance otherwise!
Honestly, I feel this performance was kind of lacking. He seems to be off key a lot and not hitting notes where they need it most. The rawness of his voice is lost in the life setting as well. This isn't to say because it's not perfect it's bad but the original recording hits different imo. I think if I went to see this performance live due to my expectation of the recording I'd have felt disappointed. The violinist is killing it though. I'd love to hear the entire song (instrumental) covered by him.
Yes 100%. Very obvious. And this vocal coach is pandering to the fans by not even mentioning it. You can love sting and critique him at the same time
Hi Beth why weren't you allowed video games, I can't imagine anyone being able to say no to your blue eyes haha
To be honest, we never had them in the house do I didn't even really know they were a thing!
@Beth Roars makes sense. You're really talented. You probably spent time on music and other things
You sayn You are professional, but i didnt mention that he is out of tune in first part for more than 4 notes. Why You didnt mention that? For all professional musicians, as me and my wife, its totally obvious after only one hearing O.o
Thank you, i love Sting, he is a amazing singer and artist, but i always hear this out of tune notes in this performance and im sure he just had a off day or something, that happens, but everybody i watch reacting is completly ignoring it. Its wierd.
Sting's performance is very uneven, but Ray Chen's is just sensational and makes this performance.
Please please PRETTY please do this tune sometime soon ❤️ ruclips.net/video/titshXbnVZ0/видео.html
"Arcane" is better if you don't know anything about League of Legends, as you won't know which characters have plot armor.
He's off-key however in this performance. He's usually spot on so I can only guess that his ear monitor was having technical issues.
Impressive but still a bit like flat champagne compared to the singer he use to be
ruclips.net/video/Tf50D8H5TCE/видео.html
After having seen him with the Police at their zenith Sting got boring. Jazz- oooh ( vomit).
It's a shame that his live version is so bad compared to the studio version.
Agreed. Sting is unimpeachable as an artist, but he is unfortunately very pitchy in this performance. Also the harmonizer used in the studio version adds a gravitas to the moment in context that manages to avoid coming across as gimmicky.
well, maybe because in the studio version you have the chance to modify and make it sound differently, but in the live version you can't
@stox7941 we're aware of the tools, it's just so pronounced in this.
Well, Sting is fine.. But it is nothing compared to the performance of Bjørn Fjæstad at a concert of Danish National Symphony Orchestra, accompanied by the violin of Soo-Jin Hong. If you listened to this, Stings performance is more than underwhelming. Especially he cant manage to do the screams, that are so needed for this song. So I place Sting at a good place 3 after the original, and both are far from the performance of Bjørn Fjæstad.
Sting is a good singer but he definitely isn't great singer... he make great music and you can tell he's a aging singer in he's voice..
Sting is awesome!:)
I think so too!
